Following Israel’s joyous Independence Day celebrations, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu got down to business on Friday, reminding Iran that Israel is ready and waiting.
‘In the Holocaust we were helpless, defenseless and voiceless,’ Netanyahu said. ‘Today, we have a strong country, a strong army, and our voice is heard among the nations.’
A prominent Iranian cleric threatened that Hezbollah, the Lebanon-based, Iranian-backed terrorist organization, will ‘turn Haifa and Tel Aviv into ghost-towns.’
President Trump presented a very different vision of the US’ relationship with Israel, and the rest of the world, than the one promoted by his predecessor Barack Obama.
A new UN report on Iran highlights ‘violation after violation of weapons transfers and ballistic missile activity’ by the country, Haley said, as ‘the Iranian regime’s behavior is growing worse.’
The Islamic Republic’s political and military leadership pledged to support the Palestinians’ attack on Israel’s existence, until the Jewish state is erased.
Netanyahu reacted to the dramatic resignation of Lebanese PM Hariri, saying it was “a wake-up call to the international community to take action against the Iranian aggression.”
Iran’s alleged ballistic missile launch over the weekend did not occur and the purported footage is actually from a failed attempt in January, media reported.
As predicted by critics of the nuclear deal with Iran, the Islamic Republic has not hesitated to breach the pact and continues to spend heavily on its military.
“Instead of saying ‘thank you’ to the United States, they now feel emboldened,” Trump said of Iran’s conduct followuing the signing of the nuclear deal.
